Being hot-as I define it—is the ultimate in attractiveness where not one person in 100 would say that the person is not model material, that not one in 100 would say the person’s body is not the masculine or feminine “ideal” form. I think we all know the difference in someone that is model hot and sexy vs a simply above average attractive person.
I would agree that technically being handsome or pretty would be subjective since those people would probably fall in the above average category. This level could be subjective and people could have differing opinions on their appearance.
I get your point but I believe that the rare air in which masculine and feminine ideals that scream FIRE (facial symmetry/attractiveness as well as bodies that fit the male and female ideals) . Sexual behavior psychologists have done studies on what the “ideal” characteristics are for one to be an extremely attractive and sexually desirable male and female. There are few absolutes especially concerning human behavior but I believe the relatively few utterly desirable and model hot attractive people are fairly easy to identify.
